ceagleEven with wristbands, verbal reminders, and other cues, there are still some folks in the medical industry who absent-mindedly might remove the wrong foot!
At a checkup today, after verifying who I was repeatedly, the check-in person started the interview, .. and kept asking "am I still taking ___ was I still taking ___ etc etc..." and after about 4 incorrect meds, I had to look over at the screen.. and the tech had a different patient's file open! The name was right there at the top of the screen!
I guess I could have made an issue out of it.. but I hope the med tech just learned a lesson and will always be more careful from now on... *sheeesh*
In lighter news.. how about them numbers! :D .. they shouldn't rule your life, but some are just fascinating...
